ANA — It  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
and  enterprising  cities  in  Central 
Illinois.  Its  popu- 
lation numbers 
seventy-five  hundred  souls, 
and  it  is  located  upon  one 
of  the  sweeping  prairies  of 
the  Empire  State  of  the 
Central  West.  It  is  access- 
ible to  the  outside  world  by 
four  of  the  greatest  trunk 
railway  lines  of  the  States— 
the  Cleveland,  Cincinnati, 
Chicago  &  St.  Louis  (Big 
Four);  Chicago  &  Eastern 
lUinois  (Frisco  System); 
Illinois  Central,  and  the 
Baltimore  &  Ohio  (South- 
western)—making  it  one  of 
the  very  best  railroad  cen- 
ters in  the  State  of  Illinois. 
and  consequently  one  of  the 
choicest  locations  for  indus- 
tries, for  the  reason  that  its 
facilities  from  a  shipping 
point,  with  its  low  rates  for 
the  transportation  of  its 
output  of  products  from   agriculture,   mining

and  manufactures  are  unexcelled  by  any  other 
city  of  like  population  in  the  United  States. 
These  railroads  provide  for 
the  accommodation  of  the 
traveling  public  thirty-eight 
passenger  trains  each  day. 
The  trains  are  the  best  in 
the  country,  having  every 
convenience  for  the  traveler, 
and  place  one  in  the  very 
quickest  touch  with  the  en- 
tire Middle  West.  The  equip- 
ment of  practically  every 
one  of  these  trains  is  perfect 
in  each  detail.  No  more 
modern  passenger  trains 
pass  over  the  railroad  tracks 
of  the  country  than  these 
thirty-eight  trains  that  run 
in  and  out  of  Pana. 

Historians  tell  us  that 
Pana  was  settled  in  1853 
and  incorporated  under 
special  charter  in  1867.  Its 
name  is  derived  from  a 
tribe  of  Indians  who  were 
inhabitants  of  this  section 
before  it  became  the  home  of  the  white  man. 


In  consequence  it  is  one  of  the  older  cities  in 
tlie  State  of  Illinois,  most  fittingly  located,  and 
the  cynosure  of  all  who  admire  a  city  of  its 
population  and  unexcelled  surroundings. 

The  City  of  Pana  is  located  not  only  upon 
one  of  the  broadest  atid  prettiest  prairies  in 
the  Central  West,  but  it  is  the  center  of  one  of 
the  farming  communities  that  are  unsurpassed 
for  their  fertility.  Underlying  the  city  and  the 
surrounding  comnmnity  for  a  radius  of  many 
miles  are  everlasting  beds  of  the  richest  bitu- 
minous coal  to  be  found  in  the  country. 
Coal  and  the  agricultural  products  are  the 
principal  industries.  The  climatic  conditions 
are  of  the  best  and  conducive  to  longevity  and 
health.     In  fact  it  is  a  gratification  to  refer  to 


Geo.  V.  Penwell, 

Founder  and  President 

of  the 

Penwell  Coal  .Mining  Company, 

Pana,  Illinois. 


Pana  as  a  city  of  distinctions  that  are  all  for 
the  best  and  unexcelled  by  any  other  city  in 
the  domain  of  Uncle  Sam.  These  general  con- 
ditions, advantages  and  conveniences  nuike 
Pana  a  premier  industrial  and  residence  city. 
a  city  in  which  it  is  a  pleasure  to  reside,  and 
where  there  is  oi)portunity  for  one  to  not  only 
live  and  have  his  being,  but  to  accumulate 
that  which  provides  well  for  all  humanity. 

The  citizenship  of  Pana  is  not  bested  by 
that  of  any  city  of  any  country  on  the  globe. 
The  residents  number  elements  of  progression 
from  Germany,  Ireland  and  France  and  other 
countries  of  the  old  world,  combined  with 
whom  are  the  enterprising  Northerner,  East-

erner,  Southerner  and  Westerner  of  the  States. 
These  create  a  citizenship  of  which  any  com- 
munity should  be  proud. 

Not  only  is  Pana  the  central  district  of  one 
of  the  greatest  agricultural  and  mining  sections 
of  this  vast  country,  furnishing,  as  it  does, 
employment  for  hundreds  of  miners  and  farm 
laborers,  but  it  has  many  industries  that  are 


rated  among  the  best  of  the  land.  It  is  the 
center  of  population  for  a  farming  community 
which  numbers  more  than  seventy-five  thou- 
sand people  and  from  this  the  city  has  a  patron- 
izing populace  of  more  than  thirty  thousand 
people.  The  City  of  Pana  is  the  central  point 
of  no  less  than  fifteen  cities  and  towns  whose 
combined  population  is  not  less  than  30,000.

Has  Endeared  Him  to  Every

Suburbanite. 


HE  duties  of  intellectual  mentors  and  progressive 
and  perpetual  business  boosters  in  this  city  are 
performed  by  The  Pana  Palladium.  These  watch- 
men for  new  industries  and  desirable  investors  are 
on  the  alert  every  day  in  the  year,  and  the  men  in  general 
charge,  the  Messrs.  Jordan  Brothers,  send  forth  every  even- 
ing a  lively  messenger  to  carry  to  the  world  daily  the 
advantages  and  attractions  of  the  City  of  Pana. 

Education  in  Pana  is  no  myth.  Its  facilities  for  teach- 
ing the  boy  or  girl  from  the  miner's  family  are  unsurpassed, 
and  the  true  democracy  of  the  American  spirit  is  nowhere 
better  shown  than  here  where  the  public  schools  set  every 
pupil  on  the  same  level,  giving  each  a  chance  at  the  best. 
Its  beautiful  high  school  building  is  open  to  every  aspiring 
boy  or  girl.  The  Carnegie  Library,  with  its  wealth  of  litera- 
ture and  abundance  of  reserve  resources  can  be  consulted  by 
every  pupil,  and  the  kindergarten,  primary  and  grammar 
departments  in  Pana's  modern  school  buildings  make  educa- 
tion as  near  the  ideal  as  an  American  city  of  7,500  people 
possibly  can.     It  has  six  fine  school  buildings. 

The  religious  life  of  a  city  is  usually  expressed  in  the 
church  edifice,  which  indicates  the  practical  zeal  of  the 
attendants.  Here  in  Pana  are  a  number  of  fine  buildings 
to  impress  the  stranger  and  centralize  the  interests  of  the 
home  people.     The  First  Presbyterian,  the  First  Methodist,

Recently  there  has  be9n  added 
a  capacious  swimming  pool,

The  city  has  the  advantage 
of  both  gas  and  electricity  for 
illumination  and  power.  Elec- 
tricity is  furnished  by  the 
Central  Illinois  Public  Service 
Company,  and  gas  by  the  Peo- 
ple's Gas  Company.  The  nov- 
elty of  street  lighting,  the 
ornamental  post  light  system, 
has  been  adopted  and  works 
to  a  charm. 

It  goes  without  saying  that 

the  supply  of  coal  in  this  sec- 
tion is  unlimited.     There  are 

four  local  mines,  the  Penwell 

Coal  Mining  Company,  one  of 

the   largest   in  the

The  fire  department  is  effi- 
cient, and  the  police  force  is 
up-to-date,  full  uniformed,  and 
typical  of  all  American  cities. 
The  telephone  system  is  an 
efficient  servant  of  the  public 
in  Pana.  It  has  over  one 
thousand  local  telephones  in 
use,  and  makes  connections 
through  its  long  distance  with 
all  the  outlying  world. 

With  a  far-seeing  pres- 
cience and  a  prideful  concern 
in  the  advancement  of  every 
good  thing  in  and  about  the 
City  of  Pana,  Captain  Kitchell 
and  his  wife  found  a  l)road

generosity.  Auto-

town  and  country,  and  weld  them  together  in 
broader  commercial  enterprise. 

Woman's  work  in  Pana  partakes  of  the 
variety  which  the  progressive  elements  of  the 
last  few  years  have 
developed.  The 
Church  associations 
connected  with  the 
leading  denominations 
are  zealously  engaged 
i  n  charitable  work 
among  the  poor,  ana 
in  a  city,  made  up  as 
Pana  is.  to  a  large 
extent  of  a  foreign- 
born  element,  the 
opportunities  for  good 
works  are  numerous. 
The  Sisters  of  Charity 
with  unflagging  devo- 
tion are  always  en- 
gaged in  the  duties 
which  call  them  among  the  Catholic  portion  of 
the  community  more  particularly,  while  the 
Protestant  sisters  of  every  denomination  cheer- 
fully and  cordially  re- 
spond to  the  calls  of 
the  poor  and  needy  in 
all  the  other  walks  of 
the  daily  life  of  Pana. 

The  little  homes 
among  the  miners  of 
the  city  speak  highly 
for  the  women  folk 
among  them.  They  all 
have  their  little  garden 
patch  for  vegetables — 
their  front  yards  for 
flowers,  and  the  grass 
plat,  the  cottages 
themselves,  and  even 
the  decorations  out- 
side show  t  h  e  dainti- 
ness of  the  woman's 
touch.  It  is  owing 
largely  to  woman's  in- 
fluence that  Pana  has 
the  fine  Carnegie 
Library ;  it  is  through  the  same  persuasive 
powers  that  the  new  hospital  is  so  soon  an 
assured  success;  it  is  through  that  same,  but 
invisible,  influence  that  its  endowment  is  guar-

anteed.  The  woman's  energy  is  at  the  base 
of  every  successful  commemoration  now  of 
Decoration  Day,  July  Fourth,  Columbus  Day, 
and  Washington's,  Lincoln's  and  McKinley's 
birthday  observations. 
They  are  evident  i  n 
every  business  avenue 
and  profession  in  the 
city  and  ready  for 
the  exercise  of  the 
suffrage  which  has 
within  the  last  year 
been  graciously  grant- 
ed them  by  the  great 
State  of  Illinois.  The 
advantages  of  the  var- 
ious up-to-date  depart- 
m  e  n  t  s  of  domestic 
science,  typewriting, 
telegraphy,  bookkeep- 
ing and  even  manual 
training  in  the  High 
School  are  all  open  to  the  girls  of  the  city,  and 
Pana  is  as  fully  alive  to  the  virtues  of  these 
desideratums  as  any  Western  or  New  England 

city.  In  music  and 
tlie  arts  the  girls  are 
pre-eminent  in  the 
city  as  everywhere. 

With  i  t  s  elegant 
schools,  churches  and 
homes  and  with  plenty 
of  good  water  to  drink 
and  coal  to  burn,  gas 
and  electricity  and  all 
kinds  of  good  things 
edible  about,  Pana  is 
a  desu  able  habitation. 
Its  deligiit fully  shaded 
residence  streets  near 
the  business  portions 
of  the  city  gives  it 
another  good  point. 
And  on  these  business 
streets  good  judgment 
is  shown  in  keeping 
their  buildings  in  order, 
creditably  painted 
and  desirable  as  up-to-date  trading  places. 
With  its  ambitions  to  make  its  location

merchants  and  professional  people  is  pleasantly

OF  THE  New  Hospital,  Pana.  Illinois. 

New  Institution  Will  Cost  Over  $80.COO. 


Pana,  as  the  commercial 
center  of  so  many  smaller 
cities  and  villages,  naturally 
has  a  call  for  the  advantages 
afforded  by  a  commodious 
hospital.  For  a  number  of 
years  the  Deaconess  Hospital 
has  attended  to  the  require- 
ments of  the  section  with  dili- 
gence, carefulness  and  zeal 
which  has  made  it  the  object 
of  affectionate  pride  to  every 
good  citizen.  But  with  the 
increasing  growth  and  expan- 
sion of  this  region  has  devel- 
oped a  desire  for  an  institution 
which  could  take  care  of  all 
cases  of  physical  disability. 

Dr.  J.  H.  Huber,  one  of  the 
best   known   public-spirited 


citizens  of  Pana,  at  his  death 
left  $20,000  as  the  nucleus 
for  a  fund  for  a  modern  hos- 
pital which  should  be  open  to 
the  people  generally — without 
restriction  as  to  race  or  religion. 
This  fund  has  been  augument- 
ed  to  such  proportions  that 
the  Doctor's  hopes  and  wishes 
are  becoming  matters  of  fact, 
and  Pana  is 
to  have  a 
fine,  wetl- 
e  ti  u  i  p  pe  d 
building 
ocated  in  the  immediate 
vicinity  of  Kitchell  Park  where 
I  he  surrmmdiiigs  will  be  most 
leipful  to  a  recovery  from 
disabilities.

FOR  THE  SICK  AND  THE  FRIENDLESS. 
A  Sketch-Bi^  J.  A.  Reid. 


ANA,  as  a  mining  town  and  an  impor- 
tant railroad  center,  is  peculiarly  liable 
to  accidents  in  its 
mines  and  along  the 
railroads.  Out  of  the  necessi- 
ties of  its  location,  and  the 
fact  that  many  of  its  workers 
are  from  the  foreign  element 
which  is  not  overrich  in  this 
world's  goods,  grew  an  insti- 
tution which  has  done  a  fine 
work  in  the  alleviation  of  pov- 
erty, sickness  and  the  stress  of 
accidents.  Established  right 
among  the  mining  element, 
extremely  democratic  in  a  1 1 
outward  expression,  it  has, 
under  the  guidance  of  Miss 
Katherine  Dockery,  the  brave 
little  woman  who  presides  over 
its  executive  department  as 
superintendent  and  trained 
nurse,  made  a  spotless  record 
as  a  faithful  servant  of  that 
Lord  and  Master  whose  whole 
mission  was  to  '  'do  good  at  all 
times"  to  "all  sorts  and  conditions  of  men." 
It  was  established  in  1908  at  the  present  loca- 
tion, and  during  the  "strike"  days  was  a  refuge 
for  women  and  children,  its  inception  and  gen-

eral  conduct  being  directed  principally  to  relieve 
and  help  the  unthinking  element  who  fail  of 
sympathy  usually  when  they 
most  need  it.  Here  no  creed  is 
recognized,  no  politics,  no  na- 
tionalities, only  the  fact  that  a 
helping  hand  is  needed.  Like 
the  work  among  the  tenements 
of  a  great  city  the  one  fact  para- 
mount is  there  is  a  soul  and 
body  in  distress  and  despair. 
In  providing  a  home  of  this 
character  every  church  in  the 
City  of  Pana,  and  many  of  its 
social  clubs,  furnished  each  a 
room,  and  its  maintenance 
has  come  from  individual  and 
collective  contributions  at 
home  and  abroad.  In  emer- 
gency and  accident  cases  they 
always  make  room,  and  during 
their  fifteen  years  of  gratuitous 
service  to  suffering  humanity 
have  cared  for  and  taken  in 
many  cases  of  cancer,  tuber- 
culosis and  kindred  diseases 
which  more  pretentious  hospitals  would  refuse. 
It  is  a  branch  of  the  American  Congregational 
Deaconess  Association,  and  while  Pana  is  to 
have  a  new  hospital  it  can  never  do  better  work,

Bg  J.  A.  Reid. 

0  Capt.  John  W.  Kitchell  and  his  estimable  wife, 
Mrs.  Mary  F.  Kitchell,  the  people  of  Pana  are 
deeply  indebted  for  a  number  of  good  things 
which  will  give  pleasure  and  profit  to  the  pres- 
ent and  future  generations.  Through  their  public  spirit 
the  city  has  a  beautiful  park  of  forty  acres  right  at  the 
threshold  of  their  business  and  residential  doors.  The 
grounds  have  been  finely  laid  out  and  are  brilliantly 
lighted  throughout  in  the  evening  with  electricity.  Pure 
water  is  furnished  by  the  city  in  abundant  quantities  for 
all  purposes — boating,  culinary  and  all  incidentals.  The 
lagoon  is  equipped  with  a  flotilla  of  row  and  motor  boats, 
and  the  accommodations  for  croquet,  tennis  and  other 
forms  of  lawn  amusements  are  generous. 

Here  every  season  the  Pana  Chautauqua  Association 

holds  its  annual  and  successful  sessions.     Organized  in 

1907  it  has  been  a  continual  help  to  the  City  of  Pana  in 

providing  a  social  center  for  its  own  people  and  those  of 

and  a  convenient  place  for  a  summer  outing,  wholesome

recreation  and  enjoyment,  physical,  intellectual 
and  spiritual.  The  Auditorium  in  v/hich  in- 
door entertainments  are  given  is  one  of  the 
best  modern  type,  rain  and  wind  proof — prac- 
tically fire-proof — and  has  a  seating  capacity 
of  3,500,  with  acoustic  properties  unexcelled. 
The  programmes  offered 
range  from  grand  opera 
and  Shakesperian  plays 
to  music  of  a  popular 
character.  Secretary 
Bryan,  Ex-Governor 
Hadley,  Captain  Hobson, 
Opie  Reed,  Senator  Gore 
and  many  other  dis- 
tinguished public  men 
and  women  have  spoken 
from  its  platform.  The 
high-class  of  entertain- 
ment offered  has  brought 
to  the  Chautauqua  and 
Pana  many  thousands  of 
visitors  annually. 

All  funds   remaining 
after  paying  actual   ex- 
penses of  each  session  go 
towards  beautifying  the  Park,  making  it  truly 
a  democratic  and  people's  gathering. 

The  officers  of  the  Association  are,  J.  W. 
Kitchell,  President;  Warren  Penwell,  Vice- 
President  ;  Dr.  John  D.  Reed,  Secretary,  and 
J.  E.  Reese,  Treasurer. 

Another  important  recreation  and  outing 
spot  in  Pana  is  the  Base  Ball  Park.  The 
"fiends"  and  "fans"  of  the  national  game  are

as  enthusiastic  and  rabid  here  as  in  every 
other  nook  and  corner  of  the  Union.  Its 
admirers  and  devotees  are  found  among  all 
classes — both  sexes  and  all  ages.  The  scores 
of  the  national  games  are  watched  with  the 
same  activity  and  intense  interest  which  char- 
acterizes every  city,  town 
and  hamlet  in  the  coun- 
try. The  small  boy  even 
can  tell  you  the  fine 
points  of  the  game,  who's 
ahead,  and  who  the 
leading  pitchers,  catchers 
and  batters  are  in  every 
club.  National  or  Ameri- 
can. The  city  itself  has 
always  had  one  of  the 
strongest  teams  in  the 
amateur  class  which  has 
made  the  Central  Illinois 
circuit. 

The  team  was  former- 
ly a  member  of  the  East- 
ern Illinois  League,  and 
the  games  put  up  by  this 
local  club  in  its  contests 
with  the  Decatur  boys  or  any  other  opposing 
organization    furnishes   an    afternoon's    racy 
enjoyment. 

The  grounds  are  within  convenient  walk- 
ing distance  for  the  crowd,  and  the  waiting 
automobiles  bring  them  closer  still  for  the 
luxurious. 

This  park  affords  the  opportunity  for  foot- 
ball and  the  usual  field  day  sports.

ANA'S  patriotism  finds  expression  in 
many  ways.  It  has  two  fine  monu- 
ments to  the  boys  in  hhie  who  have 
gone  on  before.  The  Henry  A.  Pope 
R.  Post,  which  was  named  for  a  Pana 
in  the  United  States  Volunteers  who 
a  distinguished  record  in  the  Civil  War 
and  who  was  killed  in  Louisiana  during  Recon- 
struction Da\s.  represents  the  men  who  are 
left.  The  active  membership  numbers  fifty 
men,  and  those  gone  on  before  cover  about 
one  hundred  and  fifty  more. 

Among  the  many  men  of  distinction  whose 
records  are  a  matter  of  pride  to  Pana.  Major 
P.  G.  Galvin  was  one  of  the  leaders:  he  served 
with  a  Missouri  regiment.  Dr.  J.  H.  Huber, 
whose  philanthropic  ideas  are  finding  the  finest 
kind  of  expression  in  the  new  hospital  just 
being  built,  was  a  surgeon  in  an  Ohio  regi- 
ment and  served  three  terms  as  Post  Com- 
mander of  the  Pana  Post  in  his  day.  Captain 
Thomas  P.  Clark  was  a  Wisconsin  cavalryman 
who  came  to  Pana  after  the  strife  was  over 
and  was  for  many  years  a  leading  citizen. 
Lieutenant  Isaac  H.  Allison  was  an  Ohioan 
who  was  captured  a  t  Antietam,  exchanged, 
discharged,  re-enlisted  and  served  with  credit 
to  the  end.     Captain  A.   P.  Stover  was  of  an 


Illinois  regiment  and  was  the  youngest  captain  in 
the  army  from  his  State. 

Among  the  men  of  today  Captain  J.  W.  Kitchell 
served  in  an  Illinois  regiment ;  Lawyer  McQuigg  in 
an  Ohio,  and  Sergeant  August  Trumper,  one  of 
Pana's  representatives  at  the  Gettysburg  Reunion 
recently,  was  a  member  of  the  Twenty-Sixth  Wis- 
consin Cavalry.  The  present  officers  and  comrades 
of  the  Pana  Post  represented  quite  a  number  of  the 
States  during  their  service  from  '61  to  '65.  T.  W. 
Marling,  the  Commander,  was  a  member  of  the 
Twenty-Second  Indiana;  Newton  Porter,  Senior  Vice- 
Commander,  was  an  Illinois  Cavalryman;  Daniel 
Lytle,  Junior  Vice-Commander,  was  in  the  One 
Hundred  and  Sixteenth  Illinois;  G.  M.  Ludworth,  the 
Chaplain,  served  in  an  Illinois;  and  Comrades  Win. 
M.  Baldwin  was  a  cavalryman  in  the  Second  Illinois, 
Wm.  M.  Warren  in  the  Fifth  Illinois  Cavalry,  David 
Thomas  was  with  the  Sixteenth  Illinois,  and  F.  E. 
Griffith  a  Sergeant-Major  in  an  Ohio  regiment. 

The  Woman's  Relief  Corps  embraces  over  one 
hundred  members.  Their  work  in  relieving  the  sick 
and  helping  the  poor,  supplements  efficiently  and 
substantially  their  diffusion  of  patriotic  ideas  on  all 
proper  occasions.  The  President  of  the  Corps  is 
Mrs.  Martha  Tunison,  and  Mrs.  Frances  Webber  is 
the  Corresponding  Secretary,  Mrs.  Susan  (Grandma) 
Glasgow,  "hale  and  hearty,"  has  served  as  their 
Chaplain  for  twenty  years  continuously.

four  hundred  active  members,  and 
have  recently  secured  a  site  for  a  fine 
building  ;  the  Odd  Fellows  have  their

Pythias,  the  Modern  Woodmen,  the 
Redmen.  Daughters 
of  Rebecca,  Eastern

represented.  The  city  has  two  houses 
devoted  to  moving  picture  shows  and 
vaudeville,  and  Pana  is  one  of  the 
central  points  of  attraction  for  Barnum 
&  Bailey,  Ringling  Brothers  and  the 
big  outside  shows  in  the  season.  Its 
fine  railroad  connections  give  it  addi-

|HE  beauties  of  Pana's 
residential  sections 
are  not  conspicuous 
from  the  windows 
of  a  railway  car,  since  its 
industrial  phases  are  the  most 
noticeable.  But  taking  it  on 
foot,  by  auto  or  team,  one 
finds  that  here  are  innumer- 
able modern  homes  with  the 
air  of  taste  and  refinement 
which  are  only  attainable  in 
prosperous  and  healthy  cities. 
Radiating  from  Locust  street, 
the  fine  avenues  in  all  sections 
are  graced  with  comfortable 
and  elegant  homes,  and  even 
the  moderate  dwellings  show 
an  appreciation  of  the  virtues 
of  green  lawns,  good  sidewalks, 
delightful  gardens  and  gener- 
ous shade  trees.  The  comfort- 
able homes  are  not  confined  to 
any  one  section,  selections  for 
building  sites  being  governed 
as  in  all  prosperous  towns,  by 
taste,  convenience  of  location 
and  resources.  The  country 
homes  about  the  suburbs  carry 
the  same  general  air  of  pros- 
perity as  in  the  city  itself. 
The  homesteads,  farm  yards, 
orchards,  fields  and  meadows 
give  evidence  they  are  owned 
and  cultivated  by  a  thrifty 
people.

|HE  DRIVES  all  about  the  City  of  Pana 

are   delightful   in   the   season.      By 

automobile  or  carriage  an  outing  takes 

one  through  a  rich  farming  country 

where  the  scenery  in  itself  is  charming.     The 

homes   show   the   trend   of  the  section,   and 

whether  you  go  to  Oconee,  Owaneco,  Ohlman, 


or  Tower  Hill,  Assumption  or  Shelbyville  t  h  e 
good  cheer  and  pleasure  derived  from  a  trip  is 
all  the  same.  There  are  many  good  short  drives 
about  the  city,  notably  to  the  Reservoir,  the 
Cemetery  and  to  Kitchell  Park.  Summing  up 
one  comes  to  the  conclusion  that  Central  Illinois 
is  certainly  a  portion  of  "the  promised  land."

husbandman  in  aiding  him  to 
intensify  his  production  by 
proper  drainage. 

A  large  agricultural  imple- 
ment and  automobile  house 
covers  a  big  section  of  the 
country  here  with  a  diversified 
line  catering  to  all  kinds  of 
buyers  of  wagons,  tools  and 
autos. 

An  Ohlman  inventor  has 
produced  a  washing  machine 
which  beats  Darius  Green's 
flying  machine  for  practical 
purposes  and  is  a  complete  suc- 
cess. Another  of  her  most  enter- 
prising merchants  has  a  con- 
crete post  which  is  revolution- 
izing ideas  as  to  utility,  dura- 
bility and  looks  in  farm  fences. 


JHLMAN,  one  of  the  thriving  neighbors  of 
Pana,  is  on  the  Big  Four  and  the  Chicago  & 
Eastern  Illinois  Railroad  eight  miles  away. 
It  is  the  center  of  a  rich  agricultural  and 
stock  raising  section,  with  a  healthy  constituency 
made  up  largely  from  that  sturdy  self-reliant  German 
element  which  has  so  largely  entered  into  the  com- 
position of  the  modern  Illinois  and  Missouri  farmer. 
The  business  centering  in  the  village  indicates 
that  the  spirit  of  progression  is  active  here.  There 
is  a  fine  modern  bank  around  which  clusters  an  enter- 
prising group  of  business  men  engaged  in  the  grain 
and  feed,  lumber  and  mercantile  pursuits.  One  of 
the  St.  Louis  dairies  has  a  branch  establishment 
located  near.  There  are  three  enterprising  dealers 
in  live  stock,  a  manufacturer  of  drainage  tile  with  a 
business  covering  a  section  of  the  Illinois  country  not 
indicated  by  the  limits  of  Ohlman.  The  ditching 
machine  used  in  this  connection  is  almost  human  in 
its  working  and  it  certainly  is  a  boon  to  the  modern

to  Pana  as  the  larger  of  two  neighboring  cities 
it  furnishes  a  good  basis  for  a  generous  rivalry 
to  be  considered  its  next  friend.  Its  natural 
position  in  one  corner  of  Shelby  County,  with 
Shelbyville  as  its  court  house  center  for  all 
legal  business,  this  city  would  apparently  be 
first  in  its  affections.  But  with  the  superior 
facilities  for  transportation  of  freight  and  pas- 
sengers in  its  favor  Pana  is  really  nearer  the 
heart  of  Oconee  than  the  county  seat.  There 
are  three  well-traveled  highways  leading  from 
Oconee  to  Pana,  and  these,  with  the  fine  ser- 
vice afforded  by  the  Illinois  Central,  bring  these 
two  places  into  close  community  of  interest. 
The  little  town  is  building  up  a  fine  residential 
section  and  these  three  roads  which  lead  to 
Pana  are  only  a  portion  of  the 
roads  which  lead  in  and  out  of 


Oconee.  The  automobile  has  not  only  invaded 
the  town  and  punctured  all  the  country  about, 
but  the  local  agency  which  has  been  established 
there  is  furnishing  machines  for  a  radius  cover- 
ing something  like  thirty  miles  outlying.  The 
new  churches  and  schools  and  modern  homes 
make  it  an  object  of  interest  to  its  ambitious 
neighbors,  striving  for  its  business,  trade  and 
traffic.  The  rivalry  inspires  confidence  in  their 
own  development,  and  the  progressive  element 
in  town  are  encouraging  suitable  light  indus- 
tries to  look  their  advantages  over  when  they 
are  considering  location.  As  well  as  being  a 
fine  agricultural  center  it  is  the  headquarters 
for  a  thriving  live  stock  trade,  a  number  of 
large  dealers  making  this  their  entrepot  for 
horses,  mules,  cattle  and  hogs 
purchased  throughout  this  section.
